Constituents CAS Numbers Beryllium Solid ------------ ----------- --------------- Beryllium 7440-41-7 100% Hazard communication regulations of the U. S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) apply to these products. Note: As used in this Material Safety Data Sheet, the term "particulate" refers to dust, mist, fume, fragments, particles and/or powder. It must also be noted that the products listed above are offered for sale only for use in microscopy and metallography and are not offered for any other application. Hence, if these products are used for the purposes intended there will not be any possibility for the generation of particulates with potentially dangerous consequences (except where noted when the planchet products are cleaned for reuse).
3.1 Emergency Overview
Metallic powder which poses little or no immediate hazard
in solid form. See Section 16. If the material is involved in a fire,
pressure-demand self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
must be worn by persons potentially exposed to the airborne particulate
during or after a fire.
If these products are used as intended, there should never be a case
where a collection of metal powder could pose this type of hazard.
3.2 Potential Health Effects
Exposure to the element listed in Section 02 above by inhalation,
ingestion and skin contact can occur when melting, casting,
handling, pickling, chemical cleaning, heat treating, abrasive cutting,
welding, grinding, sanding, polishing, milling, crushing or otherwise
heating or abrading the surface of this material in a matter that generates
particulate. For the use of the planchetts in a microscopy or
metallography environment, this means that precautions must be taken before
polishing down for reuse. This also means that beryllium planchetts
should at all times be kept separate and isolated from the more commonly
used aluminum specimen mounts since recleaning procedures or disposal
procedures will be significantly difference. Once carbon coated, both types
of mounts will look the same.
Exposure may also occur during repair or maintenance activities
on contaminated equipment such as furnace rebuilding, maintenance or repair
of air cleaning equipment, structural renovation, welding, or the changing
of metallographic polishing cloths and materials.
Particulate depositing on hands, gloves, and clothing can be transferred
to the breathing zone and inhaled during normal hand to face motions
such as rubbing of the nose or eyes, sneezing, coughing, etc.
3.2.1 Inhalation
Beryllium: The beryllium in this product is not known to cause acute health
effects. In haling particulate containing beryllium may cause a serious,
chronic long disease called Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD) in some
individuals. See Section 3.2.5 Chronic (long terms health effects).
If these products are used as intended, there should never be a case where a
collection of metal powder could pose this type of hazard.
3.2.2 Ingestion
Ingestion can occur from hand, clothing, food and drink contact with particulate
during hand to mouth activities such as eating, drinking, smoking, nail biting,
etc. However, if these products are used as intended, there should never be
a case where a collection of metal powder could pose this type of hazard.
3.2.3 Skin
Beryllium: Particulate that becomes lodged under the skin has the potential
to induce sensitization and skin lesions. However, if these products are
used as intended, there should never be a case where a collection of metal
powder could pose this type of hazard.
3.2.4 Eyes
Exposure may result from direct contact with airborne particulate or contact
to the eye with contaminated hands or clothing. Damage can result from
irritation or mechanical injury to the eyes by particulate. If these
products are used as intended, there should never be a case where a
collection of metal powder could pose this type of hazard.
3.2.5 Chronic (long-term health effects)
Beryllium: Inhaling particulate containing beryllium may cause a serious,
chronic lung disease called chronic beryllium disease (CBD) in some
individuals. Over time long disease can be fatal. Chronic beryllium
disease is a hypersensitivity or allergic condition in which the tissues of
the lungs become inflamed. This inflammation, sometimes with accompanying
fibrosis (scarring), may restrict the exchange of oxygen between the lungs
and the bloodstream. Medical science suggests that CBD may be related to
genetic factors.
If these products are used as intended, there should never be a case where a
collection of metal powder could pose this type of hazard, except where
noted, if one attempts to clean for reuse the beryllium planchets.
3.2.6 Carcinogenic References
Beryllium: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists
beryllium as a Group 1 Known Human Carcinogen. The National Toxicology
Program (NTP) lists beryllium as known to be human carcinogens. The ACGIH
lists beryllium as an A1 - Confirmed Human Carcinogen.
IARC lists beryllium as a known human carcinogen (Group 1) and notes that
the work environment of workers involved in refining, machining, and
producing beryllium metal was associated with an increased risk of lung
cancer, "the greater excess was in workers hired before 1950 when exposures
to beryllium in the work place were relatively uncontrolled and much higher
than in the subsequent decades"; and "the highest risk for lung cancer
being observed among individuals diagnosed with acute beryllium-induced
pneumonitis, who represent a group that had the most intense exposure to
beryllium." IARC further noted that "Prior to 1950, exposure to beryllium in
working environments was usually very high, and concentrations exceeding 1
mg/m3 [1000 micrographs per cubic meter]
were not unusual."
3.2.7 Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
Persons with impaired pulmonary function, airway diseases, or conditions
such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, etc. may incur further
impairment if particulate is inhaled. If prior damage or disease to the
neurologic (nervous) circulatory, hematologic (blood), or urinary (kidney)
systems has occurred, proper screening or examinations should be conducted
on individuals who may be exposed to further risk where handling and use of
this material may cause exposure.
Beryllium: The effects of chronic beryllium disease on the lungs and heart
are additive to the effects of other health conditions.
3.3 Potential Environmental Effects
See Ecological Information (Section 12)
4.1 First Air Procedures
If these products are used as intended, there should never be a case where a
collection of metal powder could pose a hazard. However, we do understand
that there is the potential for misuse where metal or metal oxide powder is
indeed generated:
Inhalation: Breathing difficulty caused by
inhalation of particulate requires immediate removal to fresh air. If
breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration and obtain medical help.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed
by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin: Thoroughly wash skin cuts or wounds to remove all particulate
debris from the wound. Seek medical attention for wounds that cannot be thoroughly
cleansed. Treat skin cuts and wounds with standard first air practices such as
cleansing, disinfecting and covering to prevent wound infection and contamination
before continuing work. Obtain medical help for persistent irritation.
Material accidentally implanted or lodged under the skin must be removed.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
4.2 Note to Physician
Treatment of Chronic Beryllium Disease: There is no
known treatment which will cure chronic beryllium disease. Prednisone or
other corticosteroids are the most specific treatment current available.
They are directed at suppressing the immunological reaction and can be
effective in diminishing signs and symptoms of chronic beryllium disease.
In cases where steroid therapy has had only partial or minimal effectiveness,
other immunosuppressive agents, such as cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, or
methotrexate, have been used. These latter agents remain investigational.
Further, in view of the potential side effects of all the immunosuppressive
medications, including steroids such as prednisone, they should be used only
under the direct care of a physician. In general, these medications should
be reserved for cases with significant symptoms and/or significant loss of
lung function. Other symptomatic treatment, such as oxygen, inhaled
steroids, or bronchodilators, may be prescribed by some physicians and can
be effective in selected cases.
The decision about when and with what medication to treat is a judgment
situation for individual physicians. For the most part, treatment is
reserved for those persons with symptoms and measurable loss of lung
function. The value of starting oral steroid treatment, before signs or
symptoms are evident, remains a medically unresolved issue.
The effects of continued low exposure to beryllium are unknown for
individuals who are sensitized to beryllium or who have a diagnosis of
chronic beryllium disease. It is generally recommended that persons who are
sensitized to beryllium or who have CBD terminate their occupational
exposure to beryllium.
Flash Point: Not applicable to solids
Explosive Limits: Not applicable to solids
Extinguishing media: Only in powder or other finely divided
form does this material present a special fire problem. To extinguish a
metal powder fire, use Class D fire extinguishing powder.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Do not use water to extinguish
fires around operations involving molten metal due to the potential for steam
explosions. In addition, water may disassociate when in contact with burning
metal particulate or chips releasing flammable hydrogen gas which could burn
and result in an explosion.
Ventilation duct work which has accumulated a fine coating of this
material as a particulate on its internal surface poses a potentially
serious fire hazard. Extinguish using Class D fire extinguisher media and
shut down or isolate the affected portion of the ventilation system.
Because of this potential risk, sources of ignition such as flame, spark
from machining of other materials, welding spark, etc. must not be allowed
to enter the ventilation duct work. Also, duct work must be made of non-
combustible material. See Section 8 for further information regarding
personal protective measures.
Special Fire fighting Procedures: Pressure-demand self-contained
breathing apparatus must be worn by firefighters or any other persons
potentially exposed to the particulate released during or after a fire.
If these products are used as intended, that is, for applications in
electron microscopy, there should never be a case where a collection of
metal (or oxide) powder could pose a hazard. However, we do understand that
there is the potential for misuse where metal or metal oxide powder is
indeed generated:
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled: If these products are used as intended, there should never be a case where a collection of metal powder could pose a hazard or the possibility of a "spill". But if this material is processed and in a particulate form, establish a restricted entry zone based on the severity of the spill. Persons entering the restricted zone must wear adequate respiratory protection and protective clothing appropriate for the severity of the spill (see Section 8). Cleanup spills with a vacuum system utilizing a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration system followed by wet cleaning methods. Special precautions must be taken when changing filters on HEPA vacuum cleaners used to clean up hazardous materials. Be careful to minimize airborne generation of particulate and avoid contamination of air and water. Depending upon the quantity of material released into the environment, the incident may be required to be reported to the National Response Center at (in the USA) 800- 424-8802 as well as the State Emergency Response Commission and Local Emergency Planning Committee or if outside the USA, then whatever that local responsible authority might be.
7.1 Handling Particulate may enter the body through cuts, abrasions or other wounds on the surface of the skin. Wear NeopreneŽ gloves when handling parts with loose surface particulate or sharp edges (but being careful to not puncture the Neoprene glove material). 7.2. Storage Store in a dry area.
8.1 Ventilation and Engineering Controls
Whenever possible, the use of local exhaust ventilation or other engineering
controls is the preferred method of controlling exposure to airborne
particulate. Where utilized, exhaust inlets to the ventilation system must
be positioned as close as possible to the source of airborne generation.
Avoid disruption of the airflow in the area of a local exhaust inlet by
equipment such as a man-cooling fan. Check ventilation equipment regularly
to ensure it is functioning properly. Provide training on the use and
operation of ventilation to all users. Use qualified professionals to
design and install ventilation systems.
Note that if these products are used as intended, one would not require
ventilation since there is no possibility for the generation of particulates,
except for the case when the planchets were being polished down for reuse.
8.2 Work Practices
Develop work practices and procedures that prevent particulate from coming
in contact with worker skin, hari or personal clothing. If work practices
and/or procedures are ineffective in controlling airborne exposure or visual
particulate from deposition on skin, hair or clothing, provide appropriate
cleaning/washing facilities. Procedures should be written that clearly
communicate the facility's requirements for protective clothing and personal
hygiene. These clothing and personal hygiene requirements help keep
particulate from being spread to non-production areas or from being taken
home by the worker. Never use compressed air to clean work clothing or
other surfaces.
Fabrication processes may leave a residue of particulate on the surface of
parts, products or equipment that could result in employee exposure during
subsequent material handling activities. As necessary, clean loose
particulate from parts between processing steps. As a standard hygiene
practice, wash hands before eating or smoking.
To prevent exposure, remove surface scale or oxidation formed on cast or
heat treated products in an adequately ventilated process prior to working
the surface.
8.3 Wet methods
Machining operations conducted under a flow of liquid coolant require
compete hooded containment and local exhaust ventilation. Openings into the
hood must be baffled to prevent release of fast moving particulate. The
cycling through a machine of liquid lubricant/coolant containing finely
divided beryllium particulate in suspension can result in the concentration
building to a point where the particulate may become airborne during use.
Prevent coolant from splashing onto floor areas, external structures or
operators' clothing. Utilize a coolant filtering system to remove
particulate from the coolant.
8.4 Respiratory Protection
When airborne exposures exceed or have the potential to exceed the
occupational limits shown in Section 8.13, approved respirators must be used
as specified by an Industrial Hygienist or other qualified professional.
Respirator users must be medically evaluated to determine if they are
physically capable of wearing a respirator. Quantitative and/or qualitative
fit testing and respirator training must be satisfactorily completed by all
personnel prior to respirator use. Users of tight fitting respirators must
be clean shaven on those areas of the face where the respirator seal contact
the face. Exposure to unknown concentrations of particulate requires the
wearing of a pressure-demand airline respirator or pressure-demand self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use pressure-demand airline
respirators when performing jobs with high potential exposures such as
changing filters in a baghouse air cleaning device.
But if these products as described on this MSDS are used as intended, that
is in electron microscope laboratory applications, not counting any
recleaning for reuse operations, such protection is not necessary.
8.5 Other Protective Equipment
Protective overgarments or work clothing must be worn by persons who may
become contaminated with particulate during activities such as machining,
furnace rebuilding, air cleaning equipment filter changes maintenance,
furnace tending, etc. Contaminated work clothing and overgarments must be
managed in a controlled manner to prevent secondary exposure to workers of
third parties, to prevent the spread of particulate to other areas, and to
prevent particulate from being taken home by workers.
For those working in an electron microscope laboratory environment, if using
beryllium grids, no particulates will be generated and such precautions are
unnecessary. For those using the beryllium planchets in the manner in which
they were intended to be used, again, no particulates are being generated.
However, if one should decide to remove the sample, and repolish down on a
metallographic polishing table to a polished surface for reuse, then great
care must be taken to wear the recommended protective clothing and to
observe the other mentioned precautions in this MSDS.
8.6 Protective gloves
Wear gloves to prevent contact with particulate or solutions.
Wear gloves to prevent metal cuts and skin abrasions during handling.
For those working in an electron microscope laboratory environment, if using
beryllium grids, no particulates will be generated and furthermore, the
grids are being picked up with tweezers as would any other TEM grid. We do
not advocate the need to wear gloves when picking up grids with tweezers for
either processing or insertion into the TEM.
Similarly for those using the beryllium planchets in the manner in which
they were intended to be used, no particulates are being generated, and the
picking up of the planchets can be done with either a mount gripper tweezer
But for any operations involving polishing and/or grinding of the beryllium
planchets for reuse, the wearing of protective gloves are mandatory.
8.7 Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses, goggles, face shield, or welder's helmet when risk of
eye injury is present, particularly during melting, casting, machining,
grinding, welding, powder handling, etc.
8.8 Housekeeping
Use vacuum and wet cleaning methods for particulate removal from surfaces.
Be certain to de-energize electrical systems, as necessary, before beginning
wet cleaning. Use vacuum cleaners with high efficiency particulate air
(HEPA). Do not use compressed air, brooms, or conventional vacuum cleaners
to remove particulate from surfaces as this activity can result in elevated
exposures to airborne particulate. Follow the manufacturer's instructions
when performing maintenance on HEPA filtered vacuums used to clean hazardous
materials.
8.10 Welding
In accordance with OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.252 welding of materials
containing beryllium is regulated as follows:
Welding or cutting indoors, outdoors, or in confined spaces involving
beryllium containing base or filler metals shall be done using local exhaust
ventilation and pressure-demand airline respirators unless atmospheric tests
under the most adverse conditions have established that the workers'
exposure is within the acceptable concentrations defined by 29 CFR 1910.1000.
In all cases, workers in the immediate vicinity of the welding or cutting operations
shall be protected as necessary by local exhaust ventilation or airline respirators.
8.11 Corrosion Protection
Beryllium is corrosion resistant in air and water up to 600° C (1112° F).
This is attributable to the formation of an adherent oxide layer on the
surface.
The presence of salts in water, particularly chloride, dramatically
accelerates the corrosion of beryllium. This corrosion can be further
accelerated (galvanic corrosion) if beryllium is in contact with a less
reactive metal. Contrarily, beryllium can be protected from corrosion by
contact with a more reactive metal (anodic protection).
Generally speaking, some corrosion protection should be applied to beryllium.
Salts from handling beryllium without gloves along with humidity in the
air are sufficient to cause "finger print" corrosion on a bare beryllium
part. A chromate conversion coating is an effective protection for non-severe
service.
The beryllium parts offered by SPI Supplies do not contain any such
corrosion protection, making it all the more mandatory that none of these
parts be picked up with the bare unprotected fingers.
For applications where beryllium is exposed to salt spray or mist, an
integral coating is needed to prevent corrosion. The conversion coating
alone will not protect beryllium in salt spray applications. Conversion
coating in combination with anodic protection with manganese or magnesium
has been effective in protecting beryllium brake components on aircraft
carrier based planes. Electroless nickel, epoxy paint and other integral
coatings are effective corrosion barriers in salt spray applications.
8.12 Exposure Characterization
Determine exposure to airborne particulate by air sampling in the employee
breathing zone, work area and department. Utilize an industrial hygienist
or other qualified professional to specify the frequency and type of air
sampling. Develop and utilize a sampling strategy which identifies the
extent of exposure variation and provides statistical confidence in the
results. Conduct an exposure risk assessment of processes to determine if
conditions or situations exist which dictate the need for additional
controls or improved work practices. Make air sample results available to
employees.
8.13 Medical Surveillance
Beryllium: Medical surveillance for beryllium health effects includes (1)
skin examination, (2) respiratory history, (3) examination of the lungs, (4)
lung function tests (FVC and FEV1), and (5) periodic chest x-ray. In
addition, a specialized, specific, immunological blood test, the beryllium
blood lymphocyte proliferation test (BLPT), is available to assist in the
diagnosis of beryllium related reactions. Individuals who have an abnormal
BLPT are normally referred to a lung specialist for additional specific
tests to determine if chronic beryllium disease is present. Note:
Substantial inter- and intra-laboratory disagreement exists among the
laboratories that conduct this test. The BLPT does not at this time meet
the criteria for a screening test. Despite its limitations however, the
BLPT remains a useful disease surveillance tool.
8.14 Risk Factors
Specific genetic factors have been identified and have been shown to
increase an individual's susceptibility to CBD. Medical testing is
available to detect genetic factors in individuals.

A leading scientific body recommending occupational standards is the
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). The
ACGIH recommends standards for all listed substances. The ACGIH defines a
threshold limit value (standard) as follows: "Threshold Limit Values refer
to airborne concentrations of substances and represent conditions under
which it is believed that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day
after day without adverse health effects. Because of wide variation of
individual susceptibility, however, a small percentage of workers may
experience discomfort from some substances at concentrations at or below the
threshold limit; a smaller percentage may be affected more seriously be
aggravation of a pre-existing condition or by development of an occupational
illness." "Individuals may also be hypersusceptible or otherwise unusually
responsive to some industrial chemicals because of genetic factors, age,
personal habits (smoking, alcohol, or other drugs), medication or previous
exposures. Such workers may not be adequately protected from adverse
health effects from certain chemicals at concentrations at or below the
threshold limits."

This material can be recycled.
13.1 Byproduct Recycling When recycled (used in a process to recover metals), this material is not classified as a hazardous waste under federal law. Seal particulate or particulate containing materials inside two plastic bags and place in a DOT approved container, and label appropriately. 13.2 Solid Waste Management When spent products are declared solid wastes (no longer recyclable), they may be labeled, managed and disposed of, in accordance with federal, state, and local requirements. This material is not classified a hazardous waste under federal law. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified beryllium powder (P015) as a hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). In Section 40 CFR 261.33(e) of RCRA, beryllium powder is considered hazardous when it is in the form of a "discarded commercial chemical product, off-specification species, container residue and spill residue thereof". This designation only applies to commercially pure products or manufacturing intermediates in which beryllium is the "sole active ingredient." Due to the limited scope of this definition, we believe the only form of beryllium to which it applies is waste commercially pure metallic beryllium powder. Beryllium scrap, chips, and powder are normally recycled as by-products and are not classified a waste. In cases where this is not justified, seal any off-specification metallic beryllium powder in two plastic bags and then place in a DOT container approved for flammable solids. If being disposed, the outer container must be labeled with the appropriate US EPA hazardous waste label and US DOT hazard warning label(s) and shipped under a uniform hazardous waste manifest to an approved hazardous waste management facility. Dispose of dust collector filters contaminated with metallic beryllium powder following the above procedure, with the exception of the hazardous waste manifest and hazardous waste container label.
There are no US Department of Transportation (US DOT) hazardous material regulations which apply to the packaging and labeling of this product as shipped by SPI Supplies. Hazard Communication regulations of the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) require this product to be labelled.
